I know that the following products are drastically different from one-another, but I would like to know which is the best buy: Coin One and Two Believe and some T11 playing cards and some Wynns from Kardwell Wait for Surfaced and Smooth Operations The Trilogy (keeping in mind that I have Dan...

I was hoping that maybe some numismatists could post some information about the different kinds of coins that are good to use for coin magic. I'll get this started: Kennedy Half-Dollar: Mass: 11.3 g Diameter: 31 mm Color: Silver Availability: Commonly sold at banks and coin stores...

What do you think of this flourish on the System? Is it a nice one to learn? Easy, difficult?

How are Daniel Garcia's "Next" notes?

This is interesting. The author, Gopnik, also wrote an article on magic in the March 17 issue. check it out. http://www.newyorker.com/online/2008/03/17/080317on_audio_gopnik

Woah, totally trippy... I stumbled across this. Thought I'd share: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6154070980598233906&q=orson+welles+magic&ei=WXcmSLmCLomUrwLlvZyeCg

On Kardwell, both blue and red Wynns are advertised, but it says that they are uncut. Does that mean what I think it does, or am I just a little bit crazy? It says (and I quote): "These cards are new and uncut."

Who did the cinematography for Dan and Dave's Spring Jam '07? It is superb.

Aside from paying several hundred bucks on e bay for "collector's" coins, where might I be able to get some walking liberties for fairly cheap?

There's a new video in the media section. It proclaims: no set up... I'm just beginning to get the slightest tingle of excitement here...looking forward to Wednesday...

OK, here's a question. Should magic be used to prove a point or to raise questions about current events, or should magic stick to the idea of magic for magic's sake? There seem to be two views that I've observed. There's the Paul Harris art of astonishment view, that seems to me to be about...

The Trick: Unicoin, whence four and only four coins venture from one right hand to the left, one at a time, only to lose their collective nerve and all-at-once return to the right hand. The Magician: Chris Kenner (that is, the same Chris Kenner who brought us the fun house of sorts known as...

Just out of curiosity, how many people here actually go out and perform for real people on a regular basis?

If you haven't, pick up and read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon. It is an amazing book about magic, among other things. It won a Pulitzer prize. The debate about Houdini made me think of it. It definitely deserves its own thread, though. It touches on...

The Ultimate Rip-off: This is in PH's AoA vol. 1. Such a great trick. Completely impromptu, can be done naked in the middle of the desert with one and only one card. I did this to at least six people today. Two people asked me to restore the last piece and I did (using PH's dancing with...

What would you want in it? We've seen (or shortly will see) what DG and WH did, so what would you make given the opportunity?

Which is more practical?

Is this basically the same as Long Gone Silver from CK's book or is this a completely different routine, because it looks very similar.

I've totally bought into the "Amazing Randi's" rhetoric. You should too! Smart guy. Very level headed. A fine example for magicians everywhere!

I've just started volunteering at Children's Hospital in New Orleans. I go from room to room doing a mini show for patients. The problem is, most of the patients are in the four to ten range, and card tricks don't work too well on them. I've basically been relying on two routines--one...
